Characteristics
Worm Gear Pair
NOTE 1 The material of cast hubs for AGF and AG worm wheels is FC200(Cast Iron). AG worm wheels mate primarily with SWG worms. But, for
Modules 0.8 or smaller, AG worm wheels mate with KWG worms.
NOTE 2 KHK stock worms and worm wheels are produced to KHKs own precision grades. See the Precision of Worms and Worm Wheelsin
the Selection Hintssection.
Worm Grinding Machine by Klingelnberg Worm gear testing machine by Klingelnberg
Our precision gear cutting technology enables acceleration and noise reduction
Setting the proper tooth contact and the backlash is essential for using worm gears. Use KHK stock worm gears for safe, reliable use.
The simplest way to obtain a large speed reduction with high torque in a compact space is with worm gear drives. KHK stock
worms and worm wheels are available in modules 0.5 to 6 and in speed ratios of 1/10 to 1/120, made in a variety of materials
and styles. We also ofer stock duplex worms and worm wheels with which you can obtain a very low backlash, high rotational pre-
cision system. The following table lists the main features for easy selection.

Self-locking is defined as the inability of worm wheels to
drive the worms. Factors affecting the self-locking feature
include the materials of the worm and worm wheel, lead
angle, precision of manufacture, types of bearings, lubricant,
etc. Thus, it is not dependent simply on the lead angle. But,
in general, self-locking will occur when the lead angle in a
single thread worm is less than 4

. For systems requiring


fail-safe prevention of back drive, we recommend other brak-
ing mechanisms or one-way clutches.

CAUTION PG Plastic Wheels are excluded.
If you are reboring, it is important to pay special
attention to locating the center in order to avoid
runout. (Fig.1) The reference datum for gear cutting
or grinding is the bore. (For worm shafts, it is ground
portion of the shaft.) Therefore, use the bore or shaft
for locating the center. If it is too difficult to do for
small bores, the alternative is to use one spot on the
bore and the runout of the side surface.
To open up the bore to its maximum, calculate the
bore size so that the tooth strength is weaker than the
strength of the remaining material.
For machining the maximum bore diameter, it should
be designed so that the thickness between hub
diameter (or root diameter) to bore diameter has
more strength than the gear strength. As a guide, the
maximum machined bore diameter should be within
60 % to 70 % of the hub diameter (or root diameter).

In order to use KHK stock worms and worm wheels safely,
carefully read the Application Hints before proceeding. If
there are questions or you require clarifcations, please con-
tact our technical department or your nearest distributor.
KHK stock worms and worm wheels are designed
such that when assembled according to the specifed
mounting distance with a tolerance of H7 to H8, the
backlash shown in the product tables is obtained. Do
not attempt to eliminate backlash by pushing worms
into worm wheels or operate with the worm shifted in
the direction along the tooth.
Because of the helix of the gear teeth, worms and
worm wheels produce axial thrust forces. The direc-
tions of thrust depend on the hand of the helix and the
direction of rotation. This is illustrated below in Fig.2.
The bearings must be selected properly to be able to
handle these thrust forces. See the Gear Forces
section in the technical reference for more details
(Page 699).
Because large thrust forces act on worms, if they are
not secured to the shaft frmly, they tend to shift. Use
of step shafts, set screws, dowel pins, etc., are recom-
mended. Also, check for loosening of bearings due to
thrust forces.
When the keyway is processed, it should be 50 % to
60 % . In the case FC material is used, it should be
lower by 10% or more.
Since worm wheels are molded products, they may
have air bubbles inside the material. In case you
find air bubbles inside when performing secondary
operations, and if the bubbles are found to be
troublesome, please contact your KHK distributor.

Application Examples
Verify that the worm axis is perpendicular to the worm
wheel axis.
Check that the worm axis is in the center of the worm
wheel face width.
Check the mounting distance (allowable mounting dis-
tance H7 H8).
Confirm that the center of the worm wheel goes
through the midpoint of the worm length.

How well the worms and worm wheels are assembled has large efects on the friction of the unit. The tooth contact at
the time of assembly must be checked for correctness as shown below. See the Tooth Contact of a Worm Gear Pair
section in the technical reference for more details (Page 659).

Duplex Worm Gears
KWGDLKWGDLS & AGDL
Description of duplex worm gears
The usual method of adjusting the backlash of a worm gear as-
sembly is to modify the center distance. Once assembled, such
adjustment requires a major rework of the gearbox housing. The
use of duplex worm gears allows the backlash adjustment to be
made by axially shifting the worm. This simplifes greatly the as-
sembly and maintenance operations. Because of the unique char-
acteristics of the product, please take time to study its construc-
tion and proper use.
Backlash adjustment mechanism and method of adjustment
CAUTIONThe amount of change in backlash ( j mm) in relation to the axial movement of
the duplex worm shaft (V mm) can be calculated from the formula below.

CAUTION The KHK duplex worm is designed so that, for all
modules, the backlash reduces by 0.02 mm when
the worm is shifted 1 mm.

The dual-lead worm is formed to give a diference between the right tooth surface and
left tooth surface so that it provides a unique tooth profle in which the tooth thick-
ness varies continuously, corresponding with the lead diference. (Fig.1)
The worm gear is also formed in its right and left tooth surface.
When such a worm and worm gear are set up at a constant assembly distance and
the worm is moved in the axial direction, the tooth thickness of the worm in mesh
with the worm gear changes making backlash adjustment possible.
An arrow marking on the outer circumference of the hub of the
KHK duplex worm indicates the direction of assembly as well
as acts as a guide for the backlash adjustment.
When the worm is held with arrow mark pointing right, the
tooth thickness is thinner on the right and thicker on the left.
Therefore, moving the worm to the right causes the thicker
teeth to come into actual engagement with the worm gear,
thereby reducing the backlash. (Fig.2)

Moving the worm in the direction of the
arrow causes the backlash to decrease.

Arrow mark indicates the correct orientation of two gears when assembled. As shown, the two arrows must point in the same direction.
Point of caution during assembly
KHK duplex worm gears difers in module between the right and left
tooth surface and, therefore, you must orient the worm and worm
wheel properly. Please carefully verify the following two aspects be-
fore proceeding with assembly.
1. Verifying the orientation of assembly
An arrow indicating the orientation of assembly is stamped on both the duplex worm and worm wheel. When assembling
the worm and worm wheel, check the worm wheel of the arrow mark on the front such that the direction of arrow mark on
the worm coincides with that on the worm wheel. Should the assembly be incorrect, the center distance awill become
larger than the normal distance, resulting in difculty of assembly and improper gear engagement. (Fig.3)
2. Verifying the reference position
A V-groove (60 , 0.3 mm deep line) on tip peripheral of the duplex worm tooth marks the reference tooth. The gear set is des-
ignated to have a backlash of nearly zero ( 0.045) when the reference tooth is positioned in alignment with the center of rota-
tion of the worm wheel with the center distance set at the value "a". (Fig.4)
